the Valley Sports American Little League Team from Louisville won not only the World Series in this country, but the International World Series. This is a group of 11-year-old youngsters that not only played terrific games all the way through the playoffs, but conducted themselves with such sportsmanship and were such gracious winners that they captured the hearts not only of people in Louisville, Kentucky, but people all across this country. They were totally unknown, went into the tournament with all the confidence and all the toughness that we would expect a group of 11-year-olds to have. They won the series in this country on Saturday night, and then won the International World Series on Sunday night. They had the wonderful opportunity of meeting the President of the United States when he was in Louisville last week, and have been greeted with applause all across our community and all across this country. I just rise to recognize them.
